The BBC decided not to celebrate "70 years of television" that
started at Alexandra Palace in 1936 that is in 2006.
Or did I miss something?
"Since 1995 the Palace has been a Grade II listed building. It was
designed to be "The People's Palace" and later nicknamed (allegedly
by Gracie Fields) "Ally Pally", and in 1936 became the headquarters
of world's first regular public "high definition" television service,
operated by the BBC."

In 2007, the BBC is a small fish in a big sea, and the quality of
output may not be the most important factor.
If you want to chat, upload music, moving or static images in the
early 21st Century, just imagine a world in which the BBC is not your
first choice.
